MAKE BELIEFS COMIX! Online Educational Comic Generator for Kids of All Ages - 0 views

  •  
    This web 2.0 tools allows a person to design their own comic strip. It can be used for language arts. This would also be a great tool for incorporating language arts into other areas of curriculum. This could be something that a student could get on by his self and work on individually. It could then be shared by the entire class by viewing it on the SmartBoard.

    This is a great way to make an avatar of yourself to add to a blog or website. I'm hopefully going to incorporate this into one of my projects for Mrs Hudiburgs class. Hopefully it will be as easy as it looks. So far it has been, just waiting for it to upload!

    I put a Voki on my blog last semester. It was fun to do and I could see some benefits if we could use it for students who have been absent or who may be home bound for some reason as well as the other possibilities.

    A great way to give a daily message to the students. Can have the students record lunch menu for the class to hear each morning.

    Voki is a free service that allows you to create personalized speaking avatars and use them on your blog, profile, and in email messages. I personally have two of them on my teacher website. Sometimes you have to spell phonetically in order to get the Avatar to pronounce things correctly, but other than that, it is a blast creating them.

Scratch - 1 views

  •  
    Scratch is a programming language that allows students (ages 8 and up) to create interactive stories, animations, and games online. These creations can be shared on the web. This would be great to use in the classroom for the development of 21st Century skills. Students learn math skills, creative thinking, reasoning, and how to work with others.

      This sounds great for elementary or middle school or perhaps a specialized project for secondary.

      This looked interesting for organizations or groups at school. However, when I checked out the web site, it wasn't what was described here.
